that among these who attended Cen Ma
homes recent meeting in Petersburg was
Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, of Alexandria. 1t is
said in Washington, on the authority OF the
man who instituted it, that Mr.. Mckenzie

that is not remarkable, and has nothing to

conversion to that belief must have been as

that, rs o democrat. he had instituted the
use of tissue ballots, had hived negroes IN

ladders until after an election, had sent
hundreds of negro voters away from home
to repair imaginary railroad damages ana
then disabled the locomotive so that they
couldn't get back in time to vote, petition
Ell the legislature to disfranchise the negroes
in Petersburg, and, in short, had made negro
suffrage SO difficult in Petersburg that, Oh ali

which it was deemed necessary to send u.
s troops, in order that there should be "nn
hindrred exercise of the ballot, aud an honest
